Sakurai's never really done that. If they are an Assist, he'll show them as an Assist.

Not ready yet? The game is still in development. I also recall a few assists had to be unlocked.

Well, there goes someone else. Sakurai's really been disconfirming lately.

I understand that this is off topic but I like your classic Capcom style Little Mac avatar.

That trophy doesn't seem to have the polish of even some of the other trophies. Might mean he's cut from the potential character rankings. Would have been cool to see Wonder Red in it though. Oh well maybe an AT.

I'm saying he wouldn't have shown him as just a trophy if he had more planned for him. If Wonder Red wasn't finished as an Assist Trophy then he wouldn't have shown us anything at all.

Oh man, 2 of my most wanted/expected characters disconfirmed in less than a week. I really thought Dillon and Wonder Red had chances to be inthe game.
I just wanna know...WHO THE HELL IS GETTING IN, THEN?!
Well, with Sakurai we can never be sure, but I know I won't be desappointed

Doubting his role as an assist trophy, like I said before his model seems to be ported from Wonderful 101. If was going to play a role into the gameplay in some way, they would have made a new model for him at the very least.
Best we can hope for is just music now, a stage seems highly unlikely without an assist trophy from the same franchise (but it's happened before, so who knows?).

Certainly not "too new" franchises that debuted in or after 2012, the year SSB4 development started. I believe that's why Dillon and Wonder Red are not playable in SSB4.
"Too new" characters from long established franchises can still get in... case in point Greninja. That's because Pokemon already established itself as a successful and popular franchise. Oh, and Roy in Melee, even though his game wasn't even out at the time. But hey, Fire Emblem was already popular and successful in Japan since 1990.
I believe this is why we didn't get Pikmin and Animal Crossing characters in Melee. In 2001, they were "too new" franchises that hadn't earned the privilege of having playable characters in Smash just yet.

My sympathies, dear friends. Here's to hoping he's playable NEXT TIME!

Seems like Smash Bros is more keeping pace with newer games now. It used to be that most of their characters and stages came from a game on a previous system (Melee's from 64, Brawl's from GameCube, etc.)

Wonder Red is Dead.
Although, I really wanted at the very least an AT.

No no no no no no if people are allowed to say that Ridley still might be more than just a stage hazard/boss then I get to say that Wonder Red might be more than just a trophy

As someone else said....
So, really, he's nothing more than a trophy. Something for all of us to gaze and think about what could've been. I feel bad for all the people who supported Wonder Red. I didn't myself, but I could see an interesting moveset from him.

As much as I wanted him, I feel like it's hard to make a moveset without the other 100 Wonderful Ones.

And as we lay thee to rest, let us never forget - he liked red. A lot.

Kinda surprised he's not in, even as an AT, because he would have been the perfect Platinum rep for Smash.

Yesterday I was in the salromano leak thread and I saw a supposed new leak saying Wonder Red was playable and then today he was deconfirmed... that's so sad, I was hoping he would be in Smash...

That was my original thought too, but apparently W101 is a Nintendo IP (and in all honest, probably would've 'fit' better in Smash).

It's happened before. Melee had trophies for Animal Crossing, Pikmin and Luigi's Mansion.

At least, it's somehow in the game, that's mean it's not an absolutely minor game. Sakurai even state there's some other Wonderful characters! We can hope for music, at least.
Oh, also, about Bayonetta, it change nothing. As much as I want her, she still would be a surprising addition. Wonderful 101 is a Nintendo game, so it's not "OMG PLATINUM GAME CONFIRMED"

Man, Sakurai seems to be on a killing spree. Not even with AT status... I sympathize with his supporters.

Prepare for the deconfirmations.
